Buccaneer Ranked Dojo Tips?

Hello fellow buccs,

Ive been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to pull this off... I dont know if its because im weak or because Buccs are just rigged to fail in dojo but I cant beast Mung Gong to save my life. I take about 35 minutes to get to him and he always manages to r@pe me even when i have 40k HP from the HP buff.

So basically I need to know

1. Which buffs to use in which waiting room. (Example: Use 10k HP Boost 10min after Ani)
2. Is 58k clean range good enough to even attempt dojo as a Buccaneer?
3. how can I cut down my time?
4. How can I avoid getting hit by Mung Gong?

Thanks @_@ (shakes fist at to the top of the dojo) I WILL BEAT YOU!

Hi Casey.

My bucc isn't hp washed nor does it have HB/hp buff, which came out to like 13k hp. I went to mu gong and I died as well .
Got seduced once and that was it. He had little hp left and I have yet to attain hero's will. On a side note, your clean range is good enough. I could have gotten 26 mins but obviously mu gong ruined it. IIRC you had 30% boss on your knuckle. Should be fine. Just time your attacks right and keep energy bubble up.

The problem with that is in ranked mode you're essentially competing against the clock; and other players set this clock. Considering Buccaneers aren't the strongest class, even if we can survive, I don't think it's as easy to beat times as a Buccaneer.

I'd personally say wait until the revamp; unless you're really funded, I doubt you'll get on the leaderboard. After the Revamp when we're geared more toward DPS and have a passive recovery(Which should help; even if Drain/MP Recovery is better in bursts, if you're spamming Demo for DPS you won't get much time to use it whilst 5% HP/MP every 5 seconds all the time should help out), maybe then it'll be easier to get on the leaderboard. But right now, I personally wouldn't bother.

The only real tip to offer is to try and time attacks when possible to avoid damage. I assume when you're Charged you stand on bosses to activate PR since you can Drain the HP back(Unless they hit absurd damages). Other than that, I'm stumped for tips.

It will not help as much as you think. My Viper is not HP washed, so with 15,300 HP and 5,500 MP, I will recover ~765 HP and ~275 MP every 5 seconds. That's [b]significantly[/b] worse than 50%+ HP per button press on demand and 1,530 MP every 10 seconds.

@qpGALLIONqp : Buccaneers are one of the worst classes to use in dojo right now.

On topic now...
1. Weapon ATT BUFF (More damage = Bosses dies faster = Less MP used)
2. I have no idea. I have a 20k range and failed ranking mode, never doing it again until after revamp
3. Wait until the revamp. Buccaneers ARE TOO RIGGED right now compared to every other revamped class.
4. Spam Demolition. Or, use Barrage/corkscrew to avoid attacks that can be avoided when you're not using demolition.
